Calling all parents of keiki 0-3 years old! You're invited to our FREE Lil Keiki Play Date – a fun, safe, and engaging playtime designed especially for our littlest adventurers!

Bring your keiki to explore, socialize, and enjoy interactive play with other little ones in a relaxed, welcoming environment. It’s the perfect chance for both keiki and parents to connect and have fun!

Start the week with the joy of sound at Music Monday, a vibrant experience where rhythm meets culture. Youth will explore hand drums in an upbeat, interactive setting that celebrates self-expression and creativity. With guidance from passionate instructors, participants will drum and sing their way through Hawaiian mele and global beats. Alongside music-making, they’ll learn the cultural roots of these instruments, connect through group jam sessions, and build confidence through collaborative performance and improvisation. Whether beginner or seasoned, every keiki leaves more in tune—with music, with each other, and with themselves.

In our Marine Science After-School Program, students explore the fascinating world of ocean life while developing a deeper appreciation for the environment. Through fun, hands-on activities, kids learn how to become ocean stewards—understanding the importance of protecting our oceans and the creatures that call them home.

Each session includes interactive educational games like Fish Bingo, Marine Jeopardy, and other creative activities with arts and crafts designed to make learning fun and engaging. These games help reinforce important science topics while encouraging teamwork, curiosity, and critical thinking.

Our goal is to inspire the next generation to care for the ocean by making science accessible, exciting, and meaningful. Students leave each session not only with new knowledge, but also with a stronger sense of responsibility for the world around them.

Wednesdays just got epic. SuperGrom Wednesdays are all about wave-riding, confidence-building, and ocean mastery. Designed for stoked young surfers and ocean explorers, each session offers expert-led training in surfing and ocean sports—from paddling technique to wave reading—at Ironwoods or the best mobile location based on conditions that day.

Guided by experienced watermen and waterwomen, SuperGroms will develop not only their physical skills, but also their mental focus, respect for the ocean, and the Hawaiian values of kuleana (responsibility) and ʻimi naʻauao (seeking knowledge). Whether catching their first wave or leveling up, every keiki will leave feeling strong, stoked, and more connected to the sea.

Confidence in the water starts here! Our Safe Swimming Skills for Island Environments sessions offer a fun and empowering lessions. Whether it’s navigating rocky shorelines, understanding currents, or learning essential floating and breath control, participants will build strong foundations for a lifetime of safe ocean play.

Led by experienced water safety instructors, this experience weaves in Hawaiian ocean knowledge, kuleana (responsibility), and respect for natural elements. From shallow tidepools to deeper open water, youth will gain the tools to stay calm, alert, and capable—while having a blast.

Thriving on an island means knowing how to move with the water, not against it.

Get ready to craft with purpose and heart in this hands-on 3–5 hour journey through Hawaiian arts and sustainable creativity. From weaving with lauhala to natural dyeing, kapa stamping, and recycled art builds, participants will explore the beauty of traditional practices and modern eco-crafts rooted in culture and community.

Each project is more than art—it’s a story. Youth will connect with local materials, learn about resourcefulness and mālama ʻāina (care for the land), and express themselves through creations inspired by the island’s colors, textures, and values.

Whether painting with plant-based pigments or building with beach finds, every keiki becomes both an artist and a steward.

Join Ho’olawa and Kahākūkahi Ocean Academy for a meaningful day of mālama ʻāina as we team up to clean up the shores of Poelua Bay! Let’s work together to protect our ocean, build community, and inspire the next generation of stewards. Every piece of trash we pick up makes a difference. Mahalo for standing for clean coastlines and healthy ecosystems!

📍 Meet at: Kahākūkahi Ocean Academy (KOA) — we’ll carpool to Poelua Bay
🧤 Cleanup supplies provided. Please bring a reusable water bottle and your aloha spirit.
